Synopsis for 15th Anniversary Edition Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is a notorious underground thrill-seeker who, until now, has been deemed untouchable by the law. But when crack NSA Agent Gibbons convinces Cage to infiltrate a ruthless Russian crime ring, this new breed of secret agent (codename: xXx) takes down the enemies of justice with a vengeance in this high-octane, turbo-charged thrill-ride from the acclaimed director of The Fast and the Furious.

Our Take: I'm a junkie for action films, through and through. I grew up in the glory days of action...the 1980s. My love for the genre is what made me an instant fan of xXx when it was released back in 2002. Its an action film and a spy film all rolled into one and the extreme sports angle, which was hip at the time, gives it a unique charm. Vin Diesel does a great job as a lead, but my favorite part of this film is Asia Argento. Her performance is fantastic. The film holds up well on blu-ray. I only had this one on DVD, so I'm happy for the upgrade and the extras. I recommend this one, its a great watch and a fun way to prep before you see the new xXx: Return of Xander Cage film in theaters!
